Pros

Nice budtenders to work with.

Cons

Upper Management doesn't care about you - they just want to promote their friends. Terrible ageism - if you're an older employee - look elsewhere. Virtually no onboard training - you're left to fend for yourself from day one. TERRIBLE WEED! Their products are very sub-par and overpriced - the only decent products they have are third party. Awful work/life balance - unless your a GM, then you pick your sweet schedule and screw the specialists.
